Camera Geologica: An Elemental History of Photography is a groundbreaking study of photography through the minerals upon which the medium depends by art historian, curator, and organiser Siobhan Angus. Joining her is Kelly McCormick, whose recent research into eco-processing and photography’s relationship to radioactivity, will frame a critical discussion on what we see – or what is obscured – when we look at photographs.

Camera Geologica is published by Duke University Press. Copies will be available for purchase and signing after the talk.

This conversation is co-presented by the Critical Image Forum, an initiative for Research in Photography and Expanded Documentary at the University of British Columbia.
